It's the beauty within us that makes it possible for us to recognize the beauty around us. The question is not what you look at but what you see.733734Copy Quote

417418Copy Quote
That government is best which governs least.
392393Copy Quote
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.392393Copy Quote
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.390391Copy Quote
The only people who ever get anyplace interesting are the people who get lost.
339340Copy Quote
In wildness is the preservation of the world.
336337Copy Quote
I love Nature partly because she is not man, but a retreat from him. None of his institutions control or pervade her. There a different kind of right prevails. In her midst I can be glad with an entire gladness. If this world were all man, I could not stretch myself, I should lose all hope. He is constraint, she is freedom to me. He makes me wish for another world. She makes me content with this.333334Copy Quote
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.285286Copy Quote
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.
280281Copy Quote
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.279280Copy Quote
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
259260Copy Quote
I am a happy camper so I guess I’m doing something right. Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.228229Copy Quote
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
224225Copy Quote
To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity and trust.196197Copy Quote
Perfect sincerity and transparency make a great part of beauty, as in dewdrops, lakes, and diamonds.180181Copy Quote
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.
179180Copy Quote
Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.168169Copy Quote
Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.
158159Copy Quote
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.158159Copy Quote
When it's time to die, let us not discover that we have never lived.
158159Copy Quote

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.127128Copy Quote
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.124125Copy Quote
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.
124125Copy Quote
Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.124125Copy Quote
Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.122123Copy Quote

Behave so the aroma of your actions may enhance the general sweetness of the atmosphere.
116117Copy Quote
Nature doth thus kindly heal every wound. By the mediation of a thousand little mosses and fungi, the most unsightly objects become radiant of beauty. There seem to be two sides of this world, presented us at different times, as we see things in growth or dissolution, in life or death. And seen with the eye of the poet, as God sees them, all things are alive and beautiful.116117Copy Quote
The devil finds work for idle hands.
116117Copy Quote
All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong.116117Copy Quote

Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk.
110111Copy Quote
The fire is the main comfort of the camp, whether in summer or winter, and is about as ample at one season as at another. It is as well for cheerfulness as for warmth and dryness.110111Copy Quote
I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.110111Copy Quote

99100Copy Quote
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.
9899Copy Quote
I find it wholesome to be alone the greater part of the time. To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating. I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.9697Copy Quote
Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.9596Copy Quote

I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees.
8788Copy Quote
In 1848, Thoreau went to jail for refusing, as a protest against the Mexican war, to pay his poll tax. When RW Emerson came to bail him out, Emerson said, 'Henry, what are you doing in there?' Thoreau quietly replied, 'Ralph, what are you doing out there?'8788Copy Quote
If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.
8788Copy Quote
I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn.8788Copy Quote
What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?
8586Copy Quote
The story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf is not a meaningless fable. The founders of every State which has risen to eminence have drawn their nourishment and vigor from a similar wild source. It was because the children of the Empire were not suckled by the wolf that they were conquered and displaced by the children of the Northern forests who were.8586Copy Quote
Time is like a handful of sand - the tighter you grasp it, the faster it runs through your fingers.
8384Copy Quote
All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority.8384Copy Quote
The better part of the man is soon ploughed into the soil for compost. By a seeming fate, commonly called necessity, they are employed, as it says in an old book, laying up treasures which moth and rust will corrupt and thieves break through and steal. It is a fool's life, as they will find when they get to the end of it, if not before.8384Copy Quote
Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
